Pokestops… And a Lot of Pokeballs

There has been a good deal written about people going off the beaten track in their attempts to “Catch em all” leading some news providers and commentators to speculate about the dangers of the game. We attempt to unravel the facts from fiction in this section. We start by detailing the criteria for Pokestops and the creators views on safety and education. We then look at examples where pokestops have been removed and that businesses can now request to be a Pokestop. Finally, while colleges and universities do have Pokestops on campus, schools should have any, we consider whether schools should be Pokestops and what the DigCit PLN can do to help schools explore this.
